Shortly after the call, on Saturday evening, Trump announced via Twitter that the summit would no longer be held at his property, two days after the White House announced it would.

In his series of tweets announcing his reversal, the president specifically took aim at what he called “the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners" that "went CRAZY!”

"Thought I was doing something very good for our Country by using Trump National Doral, in Miami, for hosting the G-7 Leaders," Trump sounded off in the series of tweets.

"I announced that I would be willing to do it at NO PROFIT or, if legally permissible, at ZERO COST to the USA. But, as usual, the Hostile Media & their Democrat Partners went CRAZY!" Trump continued.

"Therefore, based on both Media & Democrat Crazed and Irrational Hostility, we will no longer consider Trump National Doral, Miami, as the Host Site for the G-7 in 2020," Trump tweeted. "We will begin the search for another site, including the possibility of Camp David, immediately. Thank you!"

Mulvaney, who had announced that Doral would host the event on Thursday, on Sunday said he thinks that the president canceled the plans because he knew it looked "lousy."

He added that Trump had been "surprised" by the amount of pushback he received.
